Hair style/ accessories

Hello, ladies! I'm having a hard time deciding what to do about my hair. I wanted an updo with the veil going over the top and either a tiara or a comb just to add a little sparkle. I met with my stylist today, and says that if I want a headpiece, the veil needs to go underneath. I'm kind of disappointed to hear this! Does anyone happen to have any photos of what I'm describing?? I feel certain that plenty of people must have done this before. I'd love to have something to show him when I go for my appointment. Thank you!!

  • i think it depends on how high your updo is going to be. if you do a headband, i think it'll work. the girl in the pic below could definitely wear a headband. maybe your hair stylist thinks you want the tiara to go around/right up against the updo...?

    honestly? I think this kinda closed minded on the part of your stylist,  I love the look of the veil over the updo, and it's super common.

    just bring in some photos, or put the veil in yourself after a hair trial and see how it works, then put in a comb assesory right above the veil, I think it will be fine.

    I basically want that look (headband, veil OVER updo).  It has been really difficult to find pics with that look, but the ones I've seen have been really pretty.  Most of the ones I've seen have a pouf behind the headband or tiara.  I didn't save any with a tiara, but the front of it would be about where the top of the headband is so you could use those to show your hairdresser it works.
    here's a headband one: <a href="http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/49707/detailview.aspx?id=49707&type=3&specific+detail=updos&pageIndex=1" rel="nofollow">http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/49707/detailview.aspx?id=49707&type=3&specific+detail=updos&pageIndex=1</a>
    these all show the hair accessory underneath the veil on the bun
